Grapes were harvested and processed through a mechanical destemmer for increased flavor extraction. The juice was settled with enzymes < 24 hours and then racked to stainless steel tanks where a cool fermentation was performed for fruit retention. Natural yeast-lees settling occurred for 30 days before the wine was filtered and bottled.

An amazingly sweet and rich wine, this has a floral aroma and great concentration. It offers layers of flavor like dried fruit, honey and boysenberry syrup, with good acidity for balance. This makes a fabulous dessert by itself and is sweet enough to conquer almost any other confection.
